And the Celts window is perhaps only one year, probably not two. After that, they can start over, so keeping as many guns now is crucial. Baby will probably be even better next year and provide them with an indomitable front line when healthy and a sturdy one during times of injury. ps.

I was no fan of letting go Posey last year and believe this strained their rotation, took out foot speed, and piled on minutes for Pierce especially, and Allen and Garnett seconarily. Would that we could send Baby over to New Orleans for Posey now. New Orleans really doesn't need Posey according to their present situation, but he still could tip the scale for the Celts.

Without Rondo to get him the ball, or Pierce and Ray to spread the floor, Glen Davis would just not be that good. Davis is too slow and short to be a low post threat (no team would double him in the post) He's also lacks explosiveness and quickness to create his own shot. You just can't imagine him taking his man off the dribble, and driving the lane. Glen got lucky to be on the right team, in the right system. Anyone remember how Smush Parker looked as a started in the Lakers Triangle offense? Where's he now? Dumars isn't dumb, he knows Glen Davis would not work out in Detroit.

I'm absolutely frantic in the search for a backup 3 behind Pierce. NO way we can win a title with Giddens or Walker playing 15 minutes a night behind him. None whatosever. Let House play the point until the deadline. As for Pruitt, I know by now everyone has a woody for any living, breathing thing Ainge drafts, be it animal, vegetable or mineral. But the kid's just mediocre. We can't go forward giving a guy who's done bupkus in two years significant minutes because we're all covered up in LOVE for every single thing Ainge ever drafted.

If it's more than that, I think it's best to let Davis leave and sign someone else to be the fourth big in the rotation. For a two/three year deal, my preferred cut off point is $2.5 million.
